Hunter-Central Coast & New England PPA Training Sessions: July – Sept 2024

Are you looking to switch to renewable electricity for your business?

Join our introductory workshops on renewable electricity purchasing for businesses in the Hunter and New England regions NSW this Winter! BRC-A is partnering with Energy Corporation of NSW (EnergyCo) to deliver ‘how to’ PPA workshops for business energy buyers to share the basics of renewable energy procurement.  EnergyCo is delivering essential infrastructure in the NSW Renewable Energy Zones (REZs) aimed at reducing the cost and increasing the availability of renewable energy in NSW.

Renewable PPAs enable businesses to benefit from low cost, high-value renewable electricity, reduce emissions and share in the benefits these projects deliver to regional communities. To learn more, click here. 

These 2-hour workshops will be held both in-person and online in July – September 2024, and are suitable for organisations buying over 1 GWh of electricity per year. If you typically spend $200,000 or more a year on electricity, it’s ideal for you. Following these introductory workshops, thanks to EnergyCo, we will also deliver a 1-day PPA Training Bootcamp for interested businesses (more details to come).

If you’re a proactive leader and are keen to learn from experts, come along to one of the workshops to find out more. Register for the workshops at the links below.
